Reducing coefficient of friction in BOPP film,
Reducing coefficient of friction in form fill seal packaging,

Description

SILIMER 5062 is long chain alkyl-modified siloxane masterbatch containing polar functional groups. It is mainly used in PE, PP and other polyolefin films, can significantly improve anti-blocking & smoothness of the film, and the  lubrication during processing, can greatly reduce the film surface dynamic and static friction coefficient, make the film surface more smooth. At the same time, SILIMER 5062 has a special structure with good compatibility with the matrix resin, no precipitation, no effect on the transparency of film.

Product Specifications

Benefits

1) Improve surface quality including no precipitation ,no effect on transparency ,no effect on the surface and printing of film, lower Coefficient of friction,better surface smoothness;

2) Improve processing properties including better flow ability,faster throughput ;

Typical applications:

Good anti-blocking & smoothness, lower Coefficient of friction, and better processing properties in PE,PP film;

Typical COF test data ( Pure PP vs PP+ 2% 5062 )

How to use

Addition levels between 0.5~5.0% are suggested. It can be used in classical melt blending process like Single /Twin screw extruders, injection molding and side feed. A physical blend with virgin polymer pellets is recommended .

 Usually, amide additives rapidly migrate to the film surface and dissipate in a short period of time, delays between film extrusion and FFS operations can result in a loss of slip performance. They can migrate between film surfaces during rolling and storage, a common issue in film applications that can influence the downstream processes that packaging materials usually undergo, such as printing, sealing, and handling.
